Memories of Castlebay by

This was an image that I took some 10 years ago when visiting Barra in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
As my wife is a McNeil we had to make a pilgrimage back to where it all began.
This shot was taken in Castlebay with “Kissimul” castle in the centre.

taken with a Pentax MZ60 35mm then
later scanned.

    Stunning and outstanding scene Larry.

  • I spent the whole day going over every inch of the castle, but that’s another story… and feature.
